I've wondered about this, too, having been both ruined by the addictive horn sounds and not having experienced many HE systems for long periods. After having lived with 100-ish stuff, it's very hard to go backwards. In my limited experience, living with 95-ish stuff was distracting because I was always hearing what was "trying to get out" but seemed trapped in there.
My hunch is that what's left is choosing the best compromise between size and sensitivity and then just setting-about trying to narrow the field for those values that work in your own room/life. Really, maybe just setting a practical limit on cab size is the place to start (unless you can get creative and stash things in an adjacent attic, basement, or garage and do house mods). For that matter, maybe the floor plan is an open layout and you have large enough openings to actually leave larger units in other rooms somehow?
If that's not workable, maybe mocking-up carboard or something will help focus on an honest size for a cab volume that will work in your space. It sounds like that will drive your project (?)
Last wild idea is that "expansion" stuff from when stereo came-on--use one basshorn with an expansion "satellite" thing like University did with the Stereoflex II or like EV did (earlier?) with the Stereons.
Otherwise, I like what nl wrote. It really does depend on acceptable size.
Good luck. Be interested to hear how you progress.
